Synopsis of Diploma – Postgraduate, Postgraduate Diploma and
Postgraduate Degree Regulation
Delegates studying courses of 5-9 days duration, equivalent to 30-54 Credit Hours (direct
lecturer contact), will, on successful assessment, lead to the Diploma – Postgraduate. This
represents a single credit at Postgraduate Level. While 6-day and 7-day courses also lead
to a Diploma – Postgraduate, they accumulate 36 and 42 Credit Hours, respectively.
Delegates and students who fail to gain the required level of pass, at Postgraduate Level
will receive a Certificate of Attendance and Participation. The Certificate of Attendance and
Participation will not count, for cumulative purpose, towards the Postgraduate Diploma.
Courses carry varying credit values; some being double credit, triple credit, quad credit and
5-credit, etc. These, therefore, accumulate to a Postgraduate Diploma. As is explained,
later, in this document, a Postgraduate Diploma is awarded to students and delegates who
have achieved the minimum of 360 Credit Hours, within the required level of attainment.

Professional Business Administration: Business Administration Management for Professional Business Administrators (Part 1) Leading to Diploma – Postgraduate in Business Administration Management for Professional Administrator (1) (Quad Credit),
Accumulating to Postgraduate Diploma, Progressing to MA, MBA, MSc
There are three delivery formats for Postgraduate Diploma Courses, as follows:
1. Intensive Full-time Mode (3 months);
2. Full-time Mode (6 month);
3. Video-Enhanced On-Line Mode.
Whichever study mode is selected, the aggregate of 360 Credit Hours must be achieved.
All short courses can accumulate to the required number of hours, for the Postgraduate
Diploma, over a six-year period from the first registration and applies to both general and
specialist groupings. In this regard, it is important to note that short courses vary in length,
the minimum being 5 days (Diploma – Postgraduate) – equivalent to 30 Credit Hours,
representing one credit. Twelve 5-day short courses, representing twelve credits or the
equivalent of 360 Credit Hours are, therefore, required for the Award of Postgraduate
Diploma.
A six-day course (Diploma – Postgraduate) is, therefore, equivalent to 36 hours Credit
Hours, representing one credit. Therefore, ten short courses, of this duration, equates to
the required 360 Credit Hours, qualifying for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. While
double-credit courses last between ten and fourteen days, triple-credit courses range from
fifteen to nineteen days. Similarly, quad-credit courses are from sixteen to nineteen days.
On this basis, the definitive calculation on the Award requirement is based on the number
of hours studied (aggregate credit-value), rather than merely the number of credits
achieved. This approach is particularly useful when a student or delegate studies a mixture
of courses of different credit-values.

For those delegates choosing the accumulative route, it is advisable that at least two
credits be attempted per year. This will ensure that the required number of credit hours for
the Postgraduate diploma is achieved within the six-year time frame.

for the Masters Degree, after their successful completion of Course #7: Research
